STOP PRESS>>>Bonanza & Son guest DJ at St Valentines Day Massacre



A traditional landmark on the Rock ’n’ Roll calendar; The Godfathers' Saint Valentine's Day Massacre returns to London on February 14th 2012 at the O2 Academy, Islington.

Supports were confirmed last week as Medway's finest Mod-rockers The Len Price 3, and Bristol's Lone Sharks who impressed when previously supporting The Godfathers.

DJ Bonanza & Son (Resonance 104.4FM) will be providing exquisite aural entertainment before and after the live sets.

This will be The Godfathers first show in the UK for over a year, and their first show in London since the recording of the acclaimed live DVD/CD 'The Godfathers - Shot Live At The 100 Club' in June 2010.
The band released 2 download singles during 2011 'Back Into The Future' and 'The Outsider' (available globally on iTunes) between hectic stints of touring North America and Europe.
Expect some surprises in the Valentines Massacre set, including debuts of more material the band have been working on and recording for the forthcoming new album.

Countrier Than Thou
@ The Lock Tavern

Run Devil Run:
A veritable rockin’, upbeat Country, Americana and Rockabilly gumbo where influences spit and bubble from the melting pot of Buddy Holly to Creedence, Johnny Cash to Hank Williams… Run Devil run songs are brimming with honky-tonking, bar-room-brawl, tall stories of love lost and won along the road movie tales of Nashville, Memphis, Tombstone and inbetween the sheets.

+The Kilcawley Family:
Bonanza & Son is very excited to present this phenomenal Brother-Sister duo who breath life and colour into sepia-toned, old-time, traditional Country-Folk, lithograph etchings of the mind. Their unique take on true Hillbilly music and real-life Folk is truly something to behold as are these two sultry siblings with their authentic western garb… Their authenticity is striking in both their dress and musicianship. So if you’re in the mood for a ballad about old London Town, or a story from the American West without having to sift through a three-paged piece of Dickens prose , or a dense Steinbeck novel come gather round and listen to what the Kilcawley Family has to say.
